Title: C64 and Amiga as 1541
Post by: HellCoder on May 02, 2006, 06:38:54 AM

Hi,
I know there is a cable available that allows you to connect your commodore 64 to a PC and let the PC act as a 1541 drive. Is this also possible on the Amiga ? I prefer to use my Amiga ofcoz!

@HellCoder

Yes it is. I used to use JNet on my Amiga connected to the C64 with a parallel <-> C64 userport cable. Still have the cable, it's easy to make. Instructions are included with JNet.
With Jnet you can use your Amiga as device 7 on a C64 to start and copy files.

Be careful with the cable, or you may blow an 8520.
